Berman: We’ve had some issues in Gilbert. We’re known for our legendary white supremacist gang, the Devil Dogs. Like most gang members, they never did get the rules about how to be a white supremacist gang straight, because one of their members was black, and all they ever beat up was white people. One guy they beat up was Mormon!

“He should have said during the primary election that he was running to pull votes away from me to help someone else get elected,” Berman said. “He bastardized the electoral process. Lewis comes into office under a cloud with the question of what would have happened if we had had a real election.”

Everyone has said things at some point in their lives that they wish they could take back. Arguably, some of us have said more than others, and in politics, that can be more of a liability. As of this writing, Sheriff Joe no longer supports Steve Berman.
